Yes the bonds can be sold but if you get upside down in them due to an interest rate move you've defeated the purpose of getting a yield to beat inflation. That was my only point. Your hedging idea sounds good, but I'd stay a little cashy for your possible future uses stated in your first post.
Due to leaving my employer retirement account last week I am EXTREMELY cashy right now and I don't like it as I have always been in the equity markets. So I am exploring some of the same things you are. I am not a bond expert by any stretch of the imagination.
